Collar:

Join to the first stitch of the back panel by slipping the first st of the back panel to the needles, then picking up and passing over the last CO st to the stitch holder. Twist that stitch and place back on the needle.

Then slip all remaining back panel stitches to the needle. Using the ball of yarn from the back panel, CO 30(25, 25, 20, 20, 20) stsusing the knitting on method.

Join to the front panel by slipping the first stitch of the front panel to the left needle, then picking up and passing over the last CO st to the right needle.

All front and back panel stitches plus 60(50, 50, 40, 40, 40) new CO stitches should be on the needle now.

Round 1: pm on right needle, *K1, P1, repeat from * around. (134(144, 156, 158, 178, 190)

Round 2: sm, *K1, P1, repeat from * around. (134(144, 156, 158, 178, 190)
